[issue17322] urllib.request add_header() currently allows trailing spaces (and other weird stuff)

David & Karl - 

I had been thinking on this. My understanding of the RFC implies that "server" should reject when the headers contain the whitespace and I had a little concern if the client library should feel free to cleanup a wrongly set headers? Would it be a good idea to see what curl is doing?
